FDA Antibiotics Statement

All uses of antibiotics can lead to resistance. That’s why it’s important to use antibiotics only when necessary.

FDA is taking steps to address antibiotic resistance by encouraging the development of new antibiotics to treat patients, and by working to phase out the use of antibiotics for so-called “production” – growth promotion and feed efficiency in animal agriculture.

Consumers can help protect themselves by taking antibiotics only when necessary and prescribed by a health-care provider, and by practicing good kitchen hygiene.
